[At the mayor mansion.] "…" "Is everything you said true Dumdo?" – asked the dark elf sitting on the chair. [Alex Mim – The mayor of the Min city and its ruler.] "Yes." – said the orc. "The report from the adventure seemed to be accurate." "We found the traces of the plague in the sewers as well as we have some of the stuff, he gave us as a proof. The mask and the tail of the giant sewer rat." "The adventurer claims seem to be real." "If his theory is correct, then the plague on the surface is distraction and the real source of infection are the sewers rats that are in our sewers." "If so, no matter what we do on the surface, it won't do anything as long as those rats are down there." "Hm… I see." "But. Do you have any idea who these masked individuals are?" – asked the noble man. "No." "I looked into the criminal wanted posters and other stuff, but I found nothing." seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I also checked the mask, but it's an simple mask." "Well, according to that guy report, they blew themselves up, so it wouldn't make sense for their mask to be special or something." "He said that they are plague doctor masks that are used by doctors during the plague in order not to get infected with the plagues and it kind of makes sense for them to wear it, since well, they are getting directly in contact with plagues." "Maybe they just wore those masks to protect themselves and also hide their identity? They did blew up and turned into goo." "We don't know who were they or what race they belonged to, but that guy said that there may be some evidence left behind." "He said he was only able to retrieve the mask, but maybe there was a chance that something else was there." "…" "What do you think we should do, Dumdo?" – asked the noble man. "…" "We cannot ignore the current situation with the sewers." "We confirmed that the plague is present the sewers, so I believe that his theory is correct and until we exterminate those rats, the plague will keep spreading, no matter what we do." "…" "I understand." "Then this is my official order." – said the noble man. "Spread the news around and post a quest to get rid of those rats! I know that people weren't taking the rat extermination quest, so spread for each rat you exterminate, the contribution you make in the crisis shall be bigger." [The quest has been updated.] [The news about the possible source of the plague was found out.] [Apparently, the real reason why the plague spread so fast around wasn't because of the victims that died but instead somebody had infected the rats with it.] [You will receive contribution point depending on how many sewer rats you kill.] [You will receive contribution points depending on what you would discover in the sewers and report it to the city garrison.] (Huh.) (They moved way faster than I though.) – though Phantasia while hiding in some random corner. (Well, no matter.) (People will probably get greedy for the rewards and head straight to the sewers, even players with much higher level than those rats.) (However, there are two problems with those rats.) (The first is that I infected them with my plague.) (And the second problem is that those rats are quiet dangerous when they get near you, poisoning you.) (The rats however have an very simple and easily exploited weakness being fire of any king, being it just an torch or an Molotov. Even probably basic fire magic would do the trick and make hunting rats more easily.) (However, the people will find out eventually when some fire mage would start hunting those rats, so it's not really weird for them to find about it from get go.) (Anyway, I guess I should get slowly ready for the next part of the plan.) Before, most of the people tried doing various stuff, trying to make sure that the plague would not spread or something. The people with the biggest contribution at the time were alchemists or the supporters. Even the shitty healing potion was important in this situation and some people even ended up learning priest class since they wanted to gain more contribution points. However, after the mayor of the city published the news as well as changed the quest a little, almost everybody wanted to hunt those rats. Because of that, majority of the players that were helping on the surface, rushed towards the sewers. However, this ended up creating some problems for the surface, with the lack of people helping out the people that were infected. The alchemist did stayed alongside the some of the priest, but most of the players headed straight to the sewers. And that was the worst mistake they could make, since now the city was UNPROTECTED. [At one of the hospitals in the city.] "Shit. Hey! Do you have any potions left?" – asked orc priest player that was healing a patient. "Yea! But I'm shortly running out of the healing potions." – said the goblin alchemist player. "Shit! Even most of the priest left us behind. How the hell we will manage it?!" – said dark elf pries player. "I don't know, but we need to." "Excuse me." – said the voice from behind. "?" Some of the players turned around and saw a man the man wearing a leather plagued mask doctor wearing a furry coat and a pair of long blade fingers. "Em…. What with that get up?" – asked confused goblin alchemist. "I get the plague doctor mask and all, but… Never mind. Are you here to help?" "Well, I'm an "Doctor", so I kind of needed to go to the hospital since… Well, I'm a freaking doctor." – said the man wearing the plague doctor mask. "Oh. Wait, you are like a real doctor?" – asked the orc priest. "Well, more like a name I gave myself?" "Eh?" "What is that supposed to mean?" – asked annoyed goblin player. "Well, this." "[Poison Smoke]." The man suddenly spread a poison smoke around the room, hitting both the players and the patient were hit with it. "?!" "Hey! What are- " Before goblin player could finish speaking, he was decapitated. After the goblin player died, the masked man rushed at the dark elf priest and stabbed him in the chest with his claws, killing him before then rushing at the orc player. The orc tried swinging its staff around to defend himself, but a bullet of poison hit him right in the face when he was trying to survive. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" – screamed the orc player. However, the orc player wasn't suffering for long since he ended up being murdered by the man claws. "Hey, don't worry." – said the man while approaching the patient. "You will soon join them." The patient tried to run away, but it was no use. The plague and the poison was eating their bodies while the mad man ran around and began killing everybody, showing no mercy what so ever. Before long, the whole hospital was covered in screams and poison. However, after some time passed, the screams stopped and the masked man walked out of the back entrance of the building. (Huh.) (That was way easier than I though.) – though Phantasia. (Well, maybe it's all thanks to the titles I got recently AND this new equipment I made.) [Sewer Rat Predator Claws] [Rarity: Rare] [An claws made out of metal as well as the claws of the giant sewer rat as well its fur.] [Because of the nature of the claws that originally belonged to the giant sewer rat, the item possess a deadly ability to apply poison.] [Defense: 50] [Attack: 55 – 75] [Attacks done by this weapon will apply weak poison effect that will deal 5 damage for 15 seconds. Hitting again will cause the effect to reset.] [Restriction: Level 30 / Minimal all stats 40] (This is the best thing I could made!) (I experiment a bit, using the rat materials with the armor crafting before using rat materials, but I wasn't expecting to get something like that!) (After I put the knowledge, I get from the rat materials as well as my knowledge about poison, I ended up making this.) (A rare rarity item!) (Not only that, but those things are quite good as well.) [Plague Rat Coat] [Rarity: Rare] [A light coat meant for protection against attacks and poisons.] [Increase this item defense against poison type attacks and elements by 50%] [Defense: 50] [Restriction: Level 30 / Minimal all stats 40] [Mask Of The Plague Doctor] [Rarity: Common] [A mask meant to protect the user from diseases and poisons.] [Defense: 15] [Decrees chance of getting poisoned or infected by 5%] [Restriction: Level 20] [Helmet Top Hat] [Rarity: Uncommon] [Top hat. Just a regular black top hat that can act like a helmet with some metal added in. Bit stylish but not very good as helmet.] [Defense: 30] [Restriction: Level 20] (The coat poison resistance… Is it even good for me since I'm undead? Well, it is useful to me for… Nasty purposes. And it does increase my defense a bit.) (The mask to cover my head and the top hat… Well, for a bit of style.) (Since I'm already using a plague doctor mask, I may as well as top hat on top of it.) (Anyway, the plan is working pretty well for now.) (The hospital has been take care of and now its infested with the plague and poison.) (The corpse will also do their work and spread the infection further and since I made a commotion as well as its a hospital that people need, people would gather and help me spread the plague even further.) (While everybody is occupied with the sewers, I will spread the plague and poison around, destroying this city from within.) (Let them find out about my mess, the plague will spread further and more.) (It's time to destroy this city for good!) [The title [Crafting – Tier 2] has changed into [Crafting – Tier 3] [E] ->[D].] [Bonus effect (New): + 25 Class Points] [You have murdered people on brough daylight without the care inside the settlement.] [You have obtained title: Brough Daylight Killer] – [E] [Effect] [+10 stat points] [You have killed total of 25 players.] [You have gained title: PK – Tier 1] – [E] [Tier 1: 10 stat points.] [You have murdered 52 players without dying.] [You have gained title: PK Player - Tier 1] – [E] [Effect] [Tier 1: 20 stat points.] [You have killed total of 50 NPCs.] [You have gained title: NPC Killer – Tier 2] – [F] [Tier 1: 10 stat points.] [Tier 2: 10 stat points.] [You have murdered 25 NPCs without dying.] [You have murdered 50 NPCs without dying.] [You have gained title: NPC Murder – Tier 2] – [D] [Tier 1: 20 stat points.] [Tier 2: 20 stat points.] [You have murdered over 50 people in short amount of time.] [You have gained title: Quick Murder – Tier 2] – [D] [Tier 1: 20 stat points.] [Tier 2: 20 stat points.] [You have murder many civilians that were sick.] [You have gained title: Unfair Murder – Sick] – [E] [Effect] [+10 stat points.] [You have destroyed an entire hospital that was taking care of the sick civilians and even infected the remains of the building.] [You have gained title: Hospital Wrecker] – [D] [Effect] [+10 Class Points] "…" "Huh…That is…. A lot of titles?" (This is…. A bit unexpected?) (Some of them ranked up from get go as well???) (….) (Wait.) (The tutorial did said that your action will write your own tale and you will gain titles depending on that.) (So by any chance they were that specific?!) (I did gained some titles for deceiving that orc and starting the plague, but…. Oh wait.) (I'm doing some big actions.) (Murder, deceive and plague.) (So I guess because of my current actions, I'm getting titles nonstop?) (….) (Wait a fuking moment.) (If I'm correct…. Wouldn't I get a lot of titles after I destroy this place with my plague?) "…" "OH SHIT! NOW I'M SO FUKING MOTIVATED!"
